Bean Patties

Ingredients:

1 clove garlic

4 green onions

1 Thai red pepper

1 can (540g) white kidney beans, rinsed and drained

3 Tbsp olive oil

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup parsley or cilantro

1/4 tsp black pepper

salt to taste

1 egg

1/4 cup corn meal

This patties can be baked or fried. If you are going to bake them, turn the oven to 400 F.

Cut garlic, onions, pepper and parsley. Put all ingredients, except corn meal, into blender and pulse until combined. If it's too dry add more oil and/or water.

There should be chunks of beans left. Make 8 patties. Roll each in corn meal and put on lined cookie sheet.

Bake for 25 minutes or fry on both sides until golden.

I like to eat it with Ajvar (red pepper spread) but if you can't find it at your store, stir mayonnaise and lime juice.
